Mark Carr, the first New York City Christmas Tree Seller.

Sesheke I started talking to the guy who runs the town dump about Christmas tree selling in New York City – mostly the province of Quebecois – and he said, “You should take a look on my website.  I wrote a couple of pieces about Christmas tree selling in New York City – its origins and so forth.”  So here is a piece he wrote about Mark Carr, supposedly the first man to ever sell Christmas trees in the city – he brought them down from Catskill, New York, taking quite a gamble, not sure that they would sell.  They caught on quite well, I would say.

Beverly Hills And it really is quite a town dump we have, when this is the kind of thing you can find out from the guy who runs the place.
